Baby suffers fractured femur; Sheriff’s Office investigating

PONTIAC >> A 5-month-old baby required medical treatment for a fractured femur Thursday, and detectives are conducting an investigation into the injury. The child was taken to St. Joseph Mercy Hospital around 5:40 p.m. Feb. 27 after the mother found the baby crying and “not acting normal,” according to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office. The mother had left the baby with its father while she attended a meeting earlier in the day. After learning of the injury, the mother confronted the father, who became upset and left the hospital, officials said. The father does not live with the mother and “moves from place to place,” she said. The baby was transported to Children’s Hospital in Detroit for further treatment.
